Abstract

In this book, we have curated an exhibition of scholarly work by members of an international community passionate about person-centredness and nursing research. Much of it is still research in progress and much is still to be created. We begin this chapter by echoing and supporting the message set out in the Person-centred Healthcare Research book, that in the twenty-first century, to do valuable research in healthcare means doing research in a person-centred way [1]. The different chapters in this book have given an indication of the continuum of doing research in a person-centred way, from dipping of toes in the waters, all the way along to fully immersed person-centred research.

If we knew everything ahead of time, all would be dictation not creation.
